I'm so happy that we get new Quest in Nighthold which will include another essence collecting :) . New content is such great thing!

Edit:Quest is actually quite short. Does not take too many weeks to finish compared to Emerald Nightmare one.

Kommentar von Gulfos

Well, it could be worse. We could be delivering 33 McGuffins to Khadgar instead.

One week later, he would have 33 nightshards hanging from his bicycle's wheels.

Believe in the dream heroes, it will save you!

So this is pretty much MOP/WOD legendary questline on steroids...with a slight twist: You don't even get a legendary at the end!This has so far been the most unrewarding and time gated questline I have ever done. For a simple artifact appearance?Really disappointed...

So far, I've gotten 12 in just today. Out of the six bosses, three of them dropped a bundle of 3 shards. All of this was on normal.

Kommentar von Mixern

Can not be completed in LFR

Kommentar von Cloud45

why do people want a player power reward at the end of this? that would turn this into something that's almost mandatory to finish like the ring from warlords or the cloak from mists. Keeping it cosmetic means I can finish this whenever I want , and if others in the raid haven't done it yet then its okay. Look how people reacted when we thought legendary upgrades were tied to the Illidan storyline.

Kommentar von Intoxicant

I like that this quest isn't "mandatory," but some consistency on drop rates would be great. One person in our raid has 14 stones after a full clear, another has 1. It could take 2-3 months to finish this quest with bad RNG, meanwhile someone else could be done in 2 weeks.

Hello guys today i cleared Normal Nighthold and i got 18shards it is actually luck dependant :) so. sry for my english if i misspell. I want to ask people to post in here if they do finish this quest to tell us do we ge the apperance for the legendary weapons finally from Balance of Power or is there more steps to it... Thank you:) and Good Luck to all of you

Looks like this will take 2-3 weeks to complete if all bosses in Nighthold are killed each week. My raid ranged from 8-14 doing a full normal clear. Considering how long some of the previous "essence" type quests took, that is not bad at all.

Loot is locked per boss so you cannot acquire more by doing multiple difficulties per week.

Kommentar von Hutchyo7713

I'm up to 14 as well, and I'm 10/10 normal, I've done two bosses on heroic and have gotten no Nightshards from them, so I am worried that you may only be able to loot them from only one difficulty per week. I am going to try and knock out a few more heroic bosses so I will update if I get any more. Best of luck!

**Edit** Downed two more on Heroic and not a single drop, so I am leaning heavily on the theory that these are only obtainable ONCE from each boss per week. I really hope that I am just having terrible luck and not getting any to drop, has anyone else gotten any off bosses they have already killed on a different difficulty?

Kommentar von Bingen

Why are there no mentions of how you get these new Nighthold quests?

Kommentar von Cual

After a full Normal and now a full Heroic clear, one of our guildies got the quest done.The peasants like myself are stuck with just 6-10 from both clears.

IntroductionThis quest is part of a comment-size guide for "Balance of Power." questline. Quests are pretty much self-explanatory and all it takes is some time and good will to complete them. Completing this questline rewards Artifact Appearance (Appearance 3, Tint 1).

Part 1Image of Kalec appears in your Order Hall and gives you the following quest:The Power Within (Meet Archmage Kalec at Azurewing Repose in Azsuna.)Reasons behind appearance of Archmage Kalec in your Class Order Hall are not yet completely understood but most people noticed him few days after they completed their Class Campaign.

Part 2From there you take a next quest from Senegos:The Heart of Zin-Azshari (Retrieve the Heart of Zin-Azshari and defeat the Wrath of Azshara in the Eye of Azshara on Mythic difficulty.)

Part 3After completing the previous quests you receive a few new quests (exactly 3: two from Senegos and one from Archmage Kalec).Senegos:A Vainglorious Past (Obtain a Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon.) - You can purchase Vainglorious Draught from Veridis Fallon in Crumbled Palace in Azsuna for 150g (Requirement: Court of Farondis - Honored).

Fallen Power (Recover a Corrupted Essence from Oakheart and defeat the Shade of Xavius in Darkheart Thicket on Mythic difficulty.)

Archmage Kalec:Tempering Darkness (Obtain 30 Blood of Sargeras.)Should not be a problem since by the time you get that quest and if you did not spend any Blood of Sargeras you should have some stacked up simply by completing Dungeons and World Quests.

Part 4Archmage Kalec:Lucid Strength (Absorb the power from the Corrupted Essence using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)Right next to you.

Part 5Senegos:The Wisdom of Patience (Await the opening of The Emerald Nightmare, then report back to Senegos in Azsuna.)

Part 6Archmage Kalec:In Nightmares (Obtain a Deathglare Iris and the Horn of the Nightmare Lord from The Emerald Nightmare.) NOTE: NOT doable with LFR. It has to be Normal difficulty or higher. In order to complete this quest you need to kill 2 bosses: Il'gynoth and Xavius and loot mentioned quest items.

Senegos:Essence of Power (Collect 30 Corrupted Essence from The Emerald Nightmare.) This quest gave me a weird WoD and Khadgar flashback. NOT doable with LFR. Only Normal or higher difficulty. Essences do not have a 100% drop rate and bosses can drop 1-2 3 Corrupted Essences at the time.

Part 7Senegos:Essential Consumption (Absorb the combined power of the Corrupted Essences using the Heart of Zin-Azshari.)Right next to you.

Part 17Ashildir:Odyn's Blessing (Obtain Odyn's blessing in the Halls of Valor on Heroic or Mythic difficulty.)- Use Grand Feast of Valhallas when you enter the dungeon - at the start. You can enter the dungeon alone, put the feast down, get out and then get a group to defeat Odyn and get his blessing. After you defeat him wait for him to finish his speech (RP) and then you can collect his blessing on the loot chest.

Part 18Archmage Kalec:Planning the Assault (Await the opening of the Nighthold, then meet Archmage Kalec in Shal'Aran.)

Part 19Archmage Kalec:Into the Nighthold (Collect 20 Nightshards from the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)- Try and complete this quest without killing Gul'dan because if you kill him before acquiring The Nighthold: Darkness Calls quest in Part 20 he won't drop quest item for you this week and you'll need to wait for a next reset to complete The Nighthold: Darkness Calls quest in Part 20.

Thalrenus Rivertree:The Nighthold: Delusions of Grandeur (Collect the core of Trilliax and Grand Magistrix Elisande's Millennia Tome in the Nighthold on Normal difficulty or higher.)

Part 21Archmage Kalec:Balance of Power (Absorb the combined power of the Nightshards and the Eye of Gul'dan using the Heart of Zin-Azshari at the Lunar Crucible.)

Congratulations on completing this questline and acquiring new Artifact Appearance. Enjoy!Foxies, over and out.

I tried farming the items on heroic and got 13 shards the first time (7/10), got 0 so far on normal after it. So I think the items are shared over the difficulty.

Kommentar von Downhitted

You can only loot those once per boss per week. So let's say you have completed NH on normal and tries on heroic after, then you will have to wait to the weekly reset to obtain them.

EDIT: It seems like the amount you get from each boss is random from 0 to 5. Higher difficulty doesn't seem to affect the drop rate.

Kommentar von Zumaloo

anyone know if they increased the drop rate pending 7.2?

i'm on my 3rd balance of power alt and it has been a terrible farm

Kommentar von Hyperion101

Haven't seen this posted above anywhere but the timing of when you pickup this quest seems to matter.

Done this on 2 alts now where I had cleared heroic nighthold on Thursday and picked up the quest on Saturday, proceeded to run normal nighthold but seems I had already used up my chance of getting nightshards for the week despite not having had the quest on the Thursday.

While it could just be really bad luck I doubt out of 20 possible chances that I would not have received a single night shard.

Would recommend if you are doing this on your alts that you not go into nighthold in a week prior to picking up the quest.

Kommentar von Zaufania

I have obtained 10/20 shards in a 9/10 run, can anyone confirm if I will lose this progress if I faction change? Any info would be great.

If no replies, I will update, or reply to, this post, when and/or if, I remember with the result I got.

Kommentar von purpleblob

If you pick up the quest AFTER you already cleared it on one difficulty, you cannot loot any Nightshards clearing it on a different difficulty. I cleared Heroic on a Thursday, then did the quest up to this part on a Sunday and pugged a Normal. I got 0 shards. As the wowhead comments seemed to indicate the drop rate was a lot higher than...well 0%, I contacted a GM which basically verified that it's not 100% drop rate and that you can't loot them if you picked up a quest after already clearing it on a different difficulty:

Hey ,

This is Game Master here ready to assist in the battle against the Burning Legion.

I see there was some trouble obtaining the Nightshards for the quest Into The Nighthold which is part of the Balance of Power questline. As I am currently on this quest myself I know how irritating it can become since it does require a lot of hard work. Luckily in this case we can provide some information.

While the comments on WoWhead may say the Nighthshards are guaranteed this is not the case. Must like the Corrupted Essence from the quest Essence of Power there is a chance for the Nightshards to drop none, one, or a Immaculate Nightshard Curio. These can only be looted once per boss during the first kill of the week. Trying to complete this by running Nighthold on another difficulty will not count.

Thanks for contacting us , and if you need any further assistance please feel free to hit us up.

One of the last few quests in the chain Improving on History.. and pretty much the biggest roadblock in terms of time (if u already have the rep).. The quest requires you to collect 20 Nachtsplitter from Nighthold bosses. Just a few pointers:

You can only get Nightshards ONCE from each boss on ANY difficulty (unlike Corrupted Essence from EN).. so can't just run normal, heroic (& mythic for the big guns) & finish in a single week. Will take at least two weeks.

Doesn't drop in LFR.

If you've already cleared the raid once this week on Normal BEFORE picking up the quest.. no shards will drop for you this week even on a different difficulty.

Not a guaranteed drop.. some bosses won't drop any Nightshards.. but rarely you can get an Unbefleckte Nachtsplitterkuriosität which gives extra Nightshards (I got 1 curio in two runs and it contained 3 shards, but some have reported getting only 1 shard from it). You can get both this and a Nightshard separately from the same boss.

If you manage to collect 20, make sure to quickly hearth out, submit the quest in Shal'aran and pick up the next quest (Darkness Calls) BEFORE killing Gul'dan.. otherwise you'll have to wait another week. Hopefully your group will be nice enough to summon u back.. which they should because plenty of people speed running normal NH for this quest.

Things we do.. Cheers :)

Kommentar von Koolnerd17

I got 8/10 first week, 11 the second week so 19/20, so I will hopefully get it next week

so you might get it in two, but I'm getting it in 3 weeks so temper expectations

Kommentar von DraethDarkstar

There are several tertiary requirements that you'll need to meet to be able to progress along the Balance of Power quest chain at various points. You can and should work towards completing these as soon as possible if you want to complete the quest chain quickly. If you wait to pursue these objectives until you're forced to by a quest, you'll increase your total time required to complete this chain significantly, as, especially in the case of Reputations, progression is time gated.In the order they become relevant, they are:

Earn Revered Reputation with the Valarjar to prove your worth to Eyir and receive the Mark of the Valkyra for Das Mal in Stormheim. This is the last tertiary objective you'll need to complete, and is required before you can progress the Stormheim portion of the quest chain.
